BRUSSELS (Reuters) -European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday that even though not all member states are not supporting the plan to use Russian assets to finance the Ukraine reparation loan, the EU was working as fast as possible to reach an agreement.
She insisted on the need to use the seized Russian assets to finance the war reparations to be paid ultimately to Ukraine.
